Irving, Texas – November 7, 2014 — Four Js Development Tools is pleased to announce the general availability of Genero Mobile v1.1. Genero v1.1 is an important release that increases your ability to customize and tightly integrate your apps with native APIs that drive other on-board apps, peripherals and sensors.

Key features

iOS® simulator improvements – iOS devices can now be selected from within Studio rather than from within the emulator. Select your preferred devices from a long list including: iPhone® 4/5/6/6+ or iPad®, iPad Air etc…

Genero Mobile for iOS provides a subset of these features, omitting – in this release – advanced APIs such as WS-Security and Multipart.
